This is mainly for new games which have been designed for hardware rendering.
Note that this does not remove the software renderer's code - all it does is to disable the vid_rendermode CVAR by turning it into a static constant with the value 4.
- -noextras: disable loading of any extras (lights, brightmaps, widescreen)
- -nolights: disable loading of lights
- -nobrightmaps: disable loading of brightmaps
- -nowidescreen: disable loading of included widescreen assets
* use a different subfolder for each IWAD's saves.
* do not allow load and save CCMDs to escape the save folder. Absolute paths and '..' are being blocked now.
* unified savegame path and filename generation in one single function. All ad-hoc file name generation was replaced.
* -loadgame will also use the designated savegame folder now.
This solves two problems:
* The linked list is too slow, a map is better. A map cannot be used with statically allocated CVARs because order of initialization is undefined.
* The current CVAR system is an unordered mishmash of static variables and dynamically allocated ones and the means of identification are unsafe. With this everything is allocated on the heap so it can all be handled the same by the cleanup code.
Move the initialization before BaseFileSearch is called, otherwise
GameConfig is used not initialized and it doesn't find the gzdoom.pk3
file.
GameConfig used uninitalized was spotted by @LoneFox78.
* these circumvented all internal texture replacement logic. Texture objects should only be resolved right before drawing them
* added an explicit ‚tilebackground‘ option for the summary screen to fix problems with bad decision logic based on incorrect texture type checks. Automatic tiling no longer depends on texture type, but solely on size.
* added a DrawTexture variant that can be passed a texture ID instead of a pointer
To compensate there is now also a "stat fps" which displays the FPS rate in the lower left corner. This had to go because unconditionally altering positions was causing problems with custom HUDs.
* for Strife the game palette must be loaded before the start screen.
* increase update frequency of start screen to roughly 35 fps
* fixed Strife's laser sprite names.
* do not show the native progress bar if a graphical start screen is used.
